A Wedding Full of Wonder: Celebrating at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum

Some weddings are all about the perfect Pinterest aesthetic (and yes I love those weddings too!). This one? A bit different. And honestly, that’s what made it so great.

This couple chose to get married at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum here in Austin. It’s definitely not your typical wedding venue - which is exactly why it worked. The whole day felt playful, relaxed, and totally them, surrounded by dinosaur bones and all sorts of cool exhibits that reflected the couple’s playful and laid back vibe.

A Venue That’s Actually Fun

The museum space had so much character. It wasn’t about fancy decor or traditional stuff - it was about letting the guests wander, check things out, and just be themselves. The couple really wanted a day that felt low-key but meaningful, and the museum helped make that happen.

Mariachi Vibes and Good Food

A mariachi band kicked off the celebration, filling the room with music and good energy. It was such a cool way to bring everyone together and celebrate their culture and community. The groom also partaked in the band, and one of the guests sang along. So fun!

For food, they went with a buffet from The Peach Tortilla - simple, tasty, and very classic Austin. You can’t go wrong here!

Planning It All Out (Without the Stress)

Planning a wedding at a museum has its challenges - like figuring out how guests move around and working with the lighting and exhibits (and don’t get me started on parking!). But we handled it like a pro along with help from our amazing vendors and focused on what matter the. most: making sure the couple could enjoy their day without stressing over the little stuff.

What I Loved About This Day

Honestly, this wedding reminded me that weddings don’t have to be perfect or over the top to be special. It’s about connection, joy, and being true to who you are. That’s what makes a day memorable and oh so fun.
